  • Patent number: 8847157
    Abstract: A Time-Of-Flight mass analyzer includes a multipole ion guide located in the ion flight path between the ion source and the flight tube of the Time-Of-Flight mass analyzer. The multipole ion guide can be positioned in the ion path between the ion source and the ion pulsing region of the TOF mass analyzer. The multipole ion guide electronics and the ion guide entrance and exit electrostatic lenses are configured to enable trapping or passing through of ions delivered from an atmospheric pressure ion source. The multipole ion guide can be used for ion transmission, trapping and fragmentation, and can reside in one vacuum pumping stage or can extend continuously into more than one vacuum pumping stage.

  • Patent number: 8610056
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an atmospheric pressure ion source; a first vacuum stage and a second vacuum stage separated from the first vacuum stage by a vacuum partition; a first ion guide positioned within a first vacuum stage and arranged to receive ions from the atmospheric pressure ion source; a second ion guide positioned within a second vacuum stage downstream of the first vacuum stage from the atmospheric pressure ion source, the second ion guide being a multipole ion guide arranged to receive ions from the first ion guide; and a time-of-flight mass analyzer that includes an orthogonal pulsing region arranged to receive ions from the second ion guide.
